It's Official! Etsy at the Market!

Yes, there's going to be an Etsy Show called Etsy at the Market on September 30th! We're going to have 50 plus spaces at the Artisan's Market in Ann Arbor.

Kate Kehoe (chicalookate) is organizing it and I'm helping. If you are interested in receiving an application and more details on July 15th, please join our Etsy at the Market Google Group.

I've been enjoying the Market so much, I purchased an annual spot! But I'm still beading and below you will see a very pretty necklace I just made!

Something New!!!

I've been working very hard on designing my own cabochons for use in beadwork or vintage styled jewelry. I wanted mine to be original and decided to use my own drawings! Yes, besides beading, I draw too, mostly in colored pencil or pastels, and almost always with flowers or animals as the main subject. The print is decoupaged on a vintage glass cabochon and set in vintage brass bezels or reproduction settings.

The Newest Bracelet!

Another great Sunday at the Ann Arbor Artisan's Market! I'm even thinking of buying an annual membership. They run from April or May all the way to Christmas. It's under a roof but it might get a little cold in December. Michigan usually gets most of it's snow after Christmas, but once in a while, it snows in late October!

Anyway, this bracelet is done in beautiful violet and lavender on a garden green two-drop peyote band. I just listed it on Ebay!

Ann Arbor Artisan's Market

What Fun!!! Ann Arbor has always been known for welcoming arts and crafts (as evidenced by the nationally famous Summer Art Fair) and the Market just adds to it's reputation. On Saturday, it's a Farmer's Market, but on Sunday, it's just for Art!

Despite three rainstorms, everyone had a great time. There were three other Etsy sellers there and another friend of mine from graduate school (one of the professors)!

The sign!

My table during high winds!

At the end, when most have left.
